Request a CALGARY Zoo
Community Pedestrian Pass
The Calgary Zoo’s seasonal West gate is closed from the fall through the spring. During this time, eligible Calgary Zoo members who live in the communities of Inglewood and Ramsay are welcome to access the Zoo through the West Security entrance with their valid zoo membership AND Community Pedestrian Pass from our office.
If you would like to request a Zoo Community Pedestrian Pass and live in Inglewood or Ramsay, please confirm your eligibility by emailing ward09@calgary.ca with a photo of your valid Zoo membership and proof of address.
Reminders for Zoo members in Inglewood or Ramsay during West Gate offseason closures:
Valid only for Inglewood and Ramsay residents who are valid Zoo members. Proof of Zoo membership and address will be required.
Valid only for Day Admissions during West gate closure only– Daily 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
To gain access through the Security entrance, members must present both a valid membership card along with a valid Community Pedestrian Pass.
Access will not be granted without the presentation of both cards
If membership has expired, access through the security gate will not be granted. The security team does not have the capability to capture payment or complete transactions; however, this can be done at the north entrance gate, online or over the phone.
Access applies to pedestrians only; there is no public parking available.
Members entering at the security gate are only able to bring a guest if they have a valid Guest membership or the guest presents a valid day admission ticket.
Members are not able to bring guests who are non-members without a valid day admission ticket as Security does not have the capability to capture payment or complete transactions.
As the security team does not have the capability to capture payment or complete transactions, there will be no special access for any evening events including ZOOLIGHTS.
When the West Entrance is open, community pedestrian passes are not needed. Members should access the zoo using the West Gate as usual. The West Entrance to the Zoo is typically open from the late spring through fall. Contact the Calgary Zoo directly for confirmation.
